"THIS OIL SEEMS TO WORK

RIGHT

This perhaps is the grandfather of all lubrication mistakes.

"This oil seems to work all right" sends more cars to the repair shop than all other causes combined.

The motorist cannot watch from day. to day the inside of his engine. Hence he is no position to know accurately the While many effects of different oils.

Some of the local garages dɔ not sell GARGOYLE MOBILOILS because they obtain a greater profit by disposing of so called motor car lubricating oils, which. not being manufactured frem the highest grade, specially selected crude oils, easily break down under the extreme heat of an automobile engine. These oils while costing much less than MOBILOILS are rerailed a: prices almost equal to the prices of genuize GARGOYLE MOBILOILS.

Every ounce of oil that enters into the manufacture of GARGOYLE LUBRICANTS must measure up to a definite standard of quality and uniformity. This standard is set and maintained by our own chemists and experts and the all-important result of this scientific manufacture is the fac; that most of the world's leading manu- facturers of machinery use or recommend our oils.

Our Chart of recommendations, which specifies the grade of Gargoyle MOBILOILS which is scientifically correct for YOUR car, will be gladly sent to you on request.

The use of that oil and the avoidance of that common mistake this oil seems to work all right" will show you ENGINE RESULTS-economy and power-

Coysh stated that he would come of age next Saturday. He: described himself as when be married, whereas he was only 19. He was married at the registry ofce a: Kensington in January 1919. He was then in the Navy.

He stayed with his wife one night at an hotel and then went back to duty. He had only known her for two months before their) marriage. A fortnight afterwarde he received a letter from ber saying:-

P.S.-I don't think you one bit of a blackguard, I am really sorry for you.

Coysh added that on the day they were married be and his wife went to Sandown Park races and met Sievier, who 'congratulated them.

Dear Humphrey, I received your letter saying you trying to get out of the Navy and were going to America, and would then give me a chance of divorcing you.

to divorce you, the King's Proctor would stay in, and I am, and still mean, to live with Bobby as his wife. If you like I will meet you and discuss the whole situation. I hope you are happy and having a good time.

In another letter she wrote:- I simply must get free at once, so that my baby can be born under the right name of Biavier. Subsequently she wrote that Bievier had left her, and that she I want of money. His solicitors, however, wrote that it was not true that she had been left destitute by him.
